Battery Doorbell brightness adjustment?

[ktb123]

For some reason the past few months my doorbells brightness has been blown out. Like right now it's so bright, but the sun is actually in the backyard and not even directed at the camera. It use to be fine, even last year at this time during the cold.

See photo. Is there anyway to adjust the brightness?! It's not even registering faces or movement half the time.

Hi ktb123,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community and for sharing with us your concern. That's an unexpected behavior knowing that it used to be fine. I would suggest you try changing your Night Vision settings.

Give these steps a try:

Home app

• On the home screen, select the camera you want.
• Tap Video. 
• Under Night Vision, select from Always on, Auto, or Off.

Nest app

• Select your Nest Camera you want on the home screen.
• Tap Settings.
• Select Night Vision.
• Toggle the switch to Off, Auto, or Always On

Regards,

Emerson

Hello ktb123,

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let us know.

Best,
Emerson

So I've tried messing around with the nigh vision settings, but it seems I have to update them everyday even though I have it in the off state. So every morning it's in the off state, I switch to night mode, then to auto and that usually "fixes" it for a bit. Here is a series of screen shots of that: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VTPam4KQHuv4eL8z7
